I agree with Chris about the timelessness of non-toothy smiles. Many capable artists before us have been quite able to paint anything, including teeth, and have CHOSEN not to. I rather prefer smirks and grins and even twinkles in the eyes.

Furthermore these looks are far more engaging to look upon.

Maybe charging more for teeth is a good policy - about $20,000 more.
